TLT vs Rnd 6 Cowboys ~ Sat 5:30pm

[Chipmunk]

I wonder if we're about to make a play for Lomax for this season and convince Sivo that Wollongong is a much better place to live for someone like him.

 

[Gazzamatta]

No way the club will acknowledge Sivo has been dropped if in fact he has. They will say its an injury and he will get a week off.
Remember Jennings playing one week in reserve grade but was never dropped. "He just needs more game time while the 1s had a bye" was the message.

Wrong Gazza!
Pretty pleased that we didnt take the soft option. Well done BA.

 

[hindy111]

Yeah I think he is. So did the fox commentators.

Why do you have sand in your vagina ?

I am a troll

 

[Gronk]

I am a troll

You’re very needy. Imagine wanting people to think you’re a troll. Odd.

Offer them Lane and Sivo as a package deal.

 

[Twizzle]

Hopefully Lane is next. He’s been awful this year.

5th best player in the NRL in Round 4 and made the team of the round. If you click through you can see how the points are awarded.

he hasn't been our best all season but he hasn't been our worst either, I think he just needs a bit more footy

its not as though there are a lot of other choices

 

[Sensei Cobra]

S

What about Bulldog saying Sivo has scored 3 tries in his last few games and ran for 94 meters making him sound hard done by

And 60 the week before

60 goddam it

 

[Angry_eel]

It might seem like BA is on the knife's edge, I don't remember him making decisions like these for a long time.

 

[yy_cheng]

Lussick was our worst player last two weeks yet here he is again and hands has now been moved to 5/8th …. What the hell is going on

One word, Bxxds

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Asi was signed specifically for this situation but he cant tackle

6. Asi
7. Brown

Has happened twice before, in rounds 25 (vs Roosters) and 26 (vs Panthers), incidentally Asi's last two games in first grade. We flogged Penrith and got belted by Easts. Asi missed four tackles in each game.

Talagi's last two games in first grade saw him miss ten tackles (seven last week), so Asi is likely to be an improvement.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

They always seem to have glaring flaws when promoted into NRL whereas other teams young players do not?

We have promoted Talagi so soon because we haven't had a stream of youngsters developing into first graders over the past four/five years. Talagi is 19 this year. Jarome Luai (for example) didn't play NRL until he was 21. It's nice to hold them back but you can only afford to hold them back if you have good enough backups. Talagi's replacement this week, Asi, made his debut shortly before his 20th birthday. He played five games that year and the Cowboys lost all five. He played another five games the next year (2021) and they lost all five as well. He didn't win his first NRL game until he was almost 22 years old, at the Warriors. Again as a backup.

 

[JokerEel]

Asi will play 7 like has been in Cup.

Kicking in the last game shows he wasn't playing half in CUP..

Weird rumors floating around that Sanders will sign with Canberra and leave after round 6 I doubt that as he could just go now... Plus if that is the case we would be playing Lynn in CUP..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Which leads me back to me biggest point - we just have not structured our squad effectively.

You're goddamn right. If we had spent less on our starting halves we would've had more to spend on a backup ffs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We definitely would’ve won if Asi played.

He has never lost a game.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yes. I mean, Brad was happy to have Jake as half and leave Brown at five-eight in the past. What's different now?

Arthur is a much better kicker than Asi?

It's good we have Blaize a crack. Problem for me is he wasn't kicking the door down in CUP to get picked in the NRL it was only because of injury.

Yes I get it players get injured and you have to find someone to cover for them but when was the last time we had a junior come through demanding to be picked?

Was it Brown?

Leads me to another Question why haven't we had. A stream of youngsters come through in the past 5 years..

JA was eyes up footy just didn't have the body.
